1951 Map of Orchard

About this map

South Platte River valley life in Morgan County is defined by a complex network of irrigation and rail transport. The small settlements of Orchard and Goodrich serve as anchors along the Union Pacific line, which parallels the river's winding course. This mid-century survey reveals the critical role of water management in the high plains, as seen in the extensive Riverside Canal and Weldon Valley Canal systems fed by the Jackson Reservoir.
